The problem

Ethics is too often treated as an afterthought.

Software decisions affect privacy, accessibility, fairness, licensing, sustainability and the public good, but many developers and teams lack a clear way to learn, evidence and communicate responsible practice.

The approach

Certification for people who build technology with care.

Ethical Certifications provides the Certified Ethical Developer programme for individuals and the CED Company Checkmark for organisations, helping developers, teams and companies demonstrate a practical commitment to integrity, accountability and better technology.

NAI note

Why NAI built it

Good technology should not treat ethics as decoration added at the end. Every decision in software can affect real people, from how data is handled to whether a product is accessible, fair, secure and sustainable.

Ethical Certifications exists to make responsible development easier to learn, prove and talk about, giving developers and organisations a clearer standard for building technology with integrity.
